Description: Contemporary cultural responses to climate change in Mexico
Brief description: Carolyn Fornoff is an assistant professor of Latin American studies at Cornell University.
Review Quotes: "Carolyn Fornoff's insightful and clearly written Subjunctive Aesthetics draws inspiration from a grammatical mood expressing uncertainty and emotion to offer a new interpretation of twenty-first-century Mexican cultural production addressing ecological catastrophe. An innovative contribution to Latin American Environmental Humanities research, Subjunctive Aesthetics stakes an eloquent claim for the capacity of literature, visual arts, and film to imagine the possibilities of a post-extractivist world."
--Charlotte Rogers, author of Mourning El Dorado: Literature and Extractivism in the Contemporary American Tropics
